Monsters in the Woods (2012)

After watching horror royalty with Robert Englund, I decided
to venture into the depths of no-budget cinema for my next entry. My first
flick for the evening was Monsters in the Woods from 2012.

Plot/ A micro-budget movie crew treks into the wilderness to
shoot horror scenes for their unsellable indie-drama. They soon find themselves
in the midst of their own real horror movie, as a large group of creatures
hunts them.

Anyone who read the description of this should have understood from the outset
that it was destined to be a low-budget monstrosity. Sure, it is mired with
flaws, but that is what I expected. There
were some decent points with the monsters, some of the acting was ok, and the
effects were far from terrible. However, I do not know if you can count this as
a good movie, as the script was choppy, the cinematography all over the place,
the length was too long and some of the acting was very bad. In the end, it was
nothing special. I would not spend a ton of money on watching it, and I will
surely forget about it within a few days. If you love no-budget indie flicks
and are searching for something check it out, if not, stay away.
